Teaching of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) (Taught)

This is the ideal programme if you’d like to teach English as a foreign language or are already doing so but would like more training.

More particularly, the programme aims:

• To make you aware of theoretical issues in language teaching, second language acquisition and learning
• To develop your understanding of current, practical classroom methodology
• To introduce you to the latest approaches to language analysis
• To help you understand the connections between theory and practice.

Our academic staff have extensive experience of teaching internationally and working on projects and have active research interests and publications. Student feedback consistently indicates how much they appreciate our tutors’ friendly and patient support as well as their excellent academic and professional abilities.

Social activities

As part of the programme, we arrange regular social outings for students and staff. The aim of such visits is to enable us to get to know each other in an informal setting and to visit local places of interest. We endeavour to ensure that each visit is free of charge to maximize participation.

All students take the core compulsory modules listed for semesters one and two, as well as completing the dissertation, normally on a subject related to the topics covered in their taught modules. Students choose three further taught modules from a selection on offer each year.
